JOE HULL ART

My Pinterest link, which I use to find inspiration for photographs, art work, colour pallettes etc. > https://www.pinterest.co.uk/itsjoehull/

Throughout Week 3 I felt my work flow slowing down, so I decided it would be better to stretch the achievements of one week over two. These 2 weeks I have: Produced an artist research page on John Singer Sargent in both my sketchbook and on my blog. I've also produced studies of his sketches and his self portrait in both oil paint and acrylic, blog posts on these to follow later. Begun to compare my artists work and lives in my sketchbook in preparation for an artist comparison blog post. Next week, I intend to Begin planning photo shoots, taking into consideration inspiration from pinterest and schedule them to the best of my ability. As I'm on a pretty tight budget, I need to try and make trips that are both relevant and cost-effective. To gather the religious imagery I want I could visit Coventry Cathedral, although the modern Cathedral has a £10 entry fee. Also, I should look into another trip to the Herbert art gallery and if there are any art classes going ...

John Singer Sargent self-portrait-1907 John Singer Sargent was an American artist who lived from January 12th 1856 to April 14th 1925. Considered the leading portrait artist of his time, Sargent created roughly 900 oil paintings, 2,000 watercolours as well as many charcoal sketches. His parents were American but he was born in Florence; he was also trained in Paris prior to moving to London. All of this gave him a good deal of international acclaim. His work in France also provided controversy, in his Portrait of Madame X 1884 the reception was one of scandal as the aristocratic status of the subject and the ‘sexual’ portrayal of her was not well received. Sargent later left Paris after the humiliation and disappointment although this later helped him to build a high-profile career in Britain and America. Sargent’s work is characterized by his ability to draw with a brush, his technical abilities, the accuracy of his portrait and his impressionist landscapes. Later in life, he a...

This week, I have... Completed an artist research page on Joseph Cornell in my sketchbook and then on my blog in further detail. In my sketchbook I was able to create borders and use cardboard to implement the 3D aspect of his work, as well as layering materials in a similar way that he would have. For continuity I completed a sketch of the artist as I had on my Hirst page, but used fine liner more predominantly and used less graffic marks to reflect the overall crisp aesthetic of his work. On my blog I implemented what I had learned last week about creating vectors (and exporting them as jpeg files instead of organising them in blogger where the layout is more finicky) to create a title for the page which I found to work quite well. While this technique works well I found I couldn't implement a border to reflect the boxes Cornell uses in his work as I had in my sketchbook. This is something I would like to continue experimenting with. A friend and I went into Nuneaton Art Gal...

JOSEPH CORNELL Joseph Cornell was an American artist (24 th December 1903-29 th December 1972) who heavily influenced the art of assemblage and was influenced my surrealist artists and filmmakers of the time. In addition to being an artist, Cornell was also an experimental film maker. He is most famous for his boxes in which he would assemble old Victorian collectibles to create a scene -as a self-taught artist due to his reclusive nature he created a unique style of art. Despite spending most of his time looking after his mother and brother with Cerebral Palsy at home, Cornell managed to keep in touch with other contemporary artists at the time. Cornell was born in Nyack, New York and attended Phillips Academy in Massachusetts. He had always been shy, but his extreme shyness was noticed by the headmaster as he appeared to be terrified of seemingly insignificant things. When he was in his early 20s, he found the religion Christian Science and became devout as he believed...

This week I have: Decided on artists to study, Damien Hirst, Joseph Cornell and Malcolm T Liepke. The ideas of cubism in both Hirst's and Cornell's work link the two together but they are also very different and I think studying themes found in both artists work would be beneficial for developing my own art style. The idea of world building found in Cornell's work also intrigues me and would be helpful for a career in the game industry-however the overall aesthetic of Cornell's work intrigues me. Liepeke is a newer artist who predominantly uses oil paint (a medium I would like to develop my skills in) and I thought the style and subjects he paints from were quite contemporary and rough which is a style I enjoy. Liepke is also a portait artist and as that is an area I am most comfortable with, it keeps my need for portraiture satiated and motivated to create if I ever get stuck while focusing on sculpture-which is something I've experimented with for only a couple...

Damien Hirst "Is Mr Death In?" Damien Hirst by Jonathan Yeo Early Life Damien Steven Hirst is an English artist, entrepreneur and art collector born 7th June 1965 in Bristol, but later moved to London. He grew up with his mother (and Stepfather from the age of 2-10) who was Irish Catholic and stated that she 'lost control' of her son when he was young. Hirst was arrested twice for shoplifting although he would say that his mother wouldn't tolerate rebellion. His mother was also artistic but dropped art because she didn't like her teacher-so when Hirst showed a love for drawing she was very encouraging. He attended Allerton Grange School and also the school sixth form-achieving an E-grade in A Level Art. He then applied to Jacob Kramer School of Art and was initially refused a place but was successful in getting a place on the foundation art course. During this time, Hirst visited a Gallery displaying work by Francis Davidson, which Hirst has...
